The day was as nearly perfect as Ne braska knows how to make them and the boys enjoyed the dreamy haze of the atmosphere and admired the view to the distant hill line where the lazy ether en wrapped them in a shroud of pellucid blue. They lounged in the shade on the banks of the babbling brook, which, like the tongue of the free silver crank, goes on forever, and watched the big fishes gobble up the little ones, just as human affairs ran. They returned in the evening greatly pleased with the trip and refreshed by viewing so many fields of ripened grain and growing corn. him u&tis, a passenger on the west bound train Tueiday waa taken suddenly ill at Norfolk. Before the train reached O’Neill Dr. Gilligan was telegraphed to be at the train. The lady was so very sick that it was found necessary to re move her from the train to the Hotel Evans, where the doctor labored with her during the entire night. She was suffering from an attack of neuralgia of the heart and the pain she endured was most excruciating. J. Vallett, a friend of the unfortunate young lady, hap pened to be on the train and stopped over to lend what assistance he could. Although far from being welt she waa placed on the train yesterday evening and the journey to her home at Rapid City resumed. Dr. Gilligan accompanied her as she was too ill to take the trip without being under the care of a doctor. The first gun of the campaign was fired at the bowery last Saturday night. Hon. OrlandaTefft, republican candi date for lieutenant governor and Rev. Caldwell, of Chicago, were the speakers. The audience waa large and orderly and listened to the gentlemen with marked attention. Mr. Tefft is not an orator, but he is a logical gentleman and has a convincing way about him. Rev. Cald well is not a politician, he is a minister of the gospel, but he believes that all good citizens should take an interest in the affairs of government, and for that reason he is arrayed upon the side ol republicanism. His remarks were con fined mostly to the finance question and he discussed it in a way that made hie popocrat auditors squirm. In fact he is a veritable punt gun and when be dis charges a broadside into the enemy the water is covered with the dead and wounded._ Paint Tour House. We will sell Lincoln Paint & Color Co’s. A.

On Wednesday evening of last week Charles W. Irish, of the United States agricultural department, in company with Mr. Hansen, of Fremont, arrived in O'Neill on a tour of investigation. The inquiry was mainly directed to the feasibility of growing alfalfa in this county. An examination was made of the soil, subsoil and water, with that end in view. The investigation was made in the north and south oountnes in a sufficient degree to convince Mr. Irish that alfalfa may be grown here to great advantage. On Thursday evening Mr. Irish made an impromptu address to an audience assembled at the bowery. He bas been engaged for a great number of years in irrigation work in the west, particularly Nevada, where alfalfa is the staple crop. Mr. Irish completely upset the accepted theory of the local alfalfa and irrigation men. He said that from his knowledge of the climate, hie investiga tion of the soil, subsoil and water un derflow, be is convinced that alfalfa can be successfully grown here. That the best land for such purpose is the high table land on the divide between the Elkhorn and Niobrara rivers, and more particularly the rolling and rough land. No irrigation whatever is required for this crop in this country. Care should be taken to have the ground well pre pared by plowing deep, well harrowed, and plant not less than twenty pounds to the acre. The seed to be planted not exceeding one inch in depth and covered by a brush barrow. me beat sou tor me purpose is gravel and sand and permanent water not lets than fifteen and not more than fifty feet in depth. He advisee no planting on land where the water is less than ten feet from the surface. The address was very interesting. The gentlemen went to Brown county to make further inves tigation and returned on Tuesday. On that evening Mr. Irish made another talk and fully impreesed his hearers with the fact that he understood his subjeot well. After the address an in formal meeting and reception was held at the Hotel Evans, where numerous farmers and others interested in the subject came to obtain additional in formation from Mr. Irish. - ~ lei' order to further agitato this matter and keep it before the minds of the people a motion was made and carried that a committee of three be appointed to keep the ball rolling and take all necessary steps to fully test the views expressed. The chairman appointed Messrs. Patrick Hagerty, M. D. Long and Charles Wilcox as such committee. This committee will keep in touch with Mr. Irish and by correspondence with him and others become informed upon all matters pertaining to this important subject. Parties desirous of testing the adaptability of this plant and desiring information concerning it should cor respond with this committee. CLUB LXOISLATIOfi. New Yobk, July 18. Hon. William J. Bryan, care of Ne braska State Journal, Lincoln: I want to show you and the readers of tbe State Journal how few people in our country would gain by this govern ment paying to the mine owners double the market price for eilyer. There are about 8,000 silver mines working in the United states. A pro duction of $10,000 in silver by each mine would make $80,000,000. The silver product of 1898 was valued at $77,578,000. If the government should buy the silver mined by these 8,000 silver mine owners at double its market value it would quad ruple their wealth. No one doubts it. If the government would pay double the market price, for copper and coin it would quadruple the wealth of the copper mine owners. The. copper output in 1898 was worth $83,000* 000. wouia iree coinage mcreaae me wages of the miner? Of course not. Free coinage would only aid the mine owner. The mine owner ia paying himeelf with 50-cent silyer. The mine laborer is being paid in government dollars aa good as gold. The $685,000,000 worth of silver coined by the government is guaranted as good as gold. It passes the same as gold in China, Mexico, and they will take it in England if we will pay the freight back. It is as good as English or French silver because it is guaranted by a government as strong as France or England. The farmer is being paid for his corn, cotton and land in these 6685,000,000 coined and guarranted by the govern* ment. Sibley, Weaver and Teller told me at the Denver convention that they didn’t want free coinage unless the government bought their silver 16 to 1 and guar ranted every dollar coined. "Buying silver at the market price, coining it and handing it back,” they said “would not help the mine owner " It would be worth no more than bullion. Now what do these 8,000 silver mine owners want? They want a nation of 75,000,000 people to teke their silver product et * double ite value. Shall 75,000,000 people - ~ Jeopardize their property and bankrupt their country to benefit 8,000 rich mine ownera? Would not tbia be claaa legis lation ? Would it not be claaa legisla tion if the government would agree to buy the coal, iron or copper output of the mlnea at twice ite commercial value? When the government to foater the infant beet induatry of Nebraska paid a 2-oent bounty to Nebraska farmers, did not you, Mr. Bryan, get up In congress and denounce it aa class legislation? To establish this sugar industry in America and keep 150,000,000 from going to ; - Europe and Cuba every year for huger, ' H cost ua $8,000,000 a year in bounties* '■ Ton struck these bounties to the farmers : - down, Mr. Bryan, and would now ask this government and the farmers to pay ; . 1100,000,000 a year more for the silver crop of 8,0000 mine owners than it is worth in open market. Cannot every school boy in Nebraska sea the utter silliness of this free coinage logic? Ton and your party crucified the in* fant sugar industry and now you propose to crucify the supreme court, and then * -)$ translate the silver miner on a crown of gold. Then while the nation has 1519,000,000 . 1 in silver laying idle in the treasury, and . owes 1950,010,000 for borrowed gold would it not be foolishness to coin what the people do not want? We have enough silver coined—19 to every man and woman In the country, and the people have never taken out over 65 cents per capita. We don’t want more silver currency at present. . t f We have coined as much silver as gold, f lacking a million dollars. England has coined only 1119,000,000 in silver and now her mint, like the mints of all the first-class nations, la closed to the white metal. Xu Parana , LOOK H1U.
